Fun with Twitter

Just rigged up the blog to show whatever I’m posting via Twitter as well. However, what with Twitter being a bit of a lower end sort of one-liner type of thing, I decided to make those posts style slightly differently. So those weird blue things? Those are just my latest Twitter updates.

Thanks to Twitter Tools for making it work properly. Good WordPress plugin, still has a few odd points to it and some kinks to work out though. But it works well enough.

Feel free to respond more directly to anything I have to say on Twitter.

I’ve just configured Irssi on my Linux server to send Tweets whenever someone mentions my nick in the IRC channels I’m in. I keep Irssi running all the time and just ssh into the machine when I want to chat, which means it’s pure luck whether I’m actually looking at the screen or not.Now, after installing ‘Spaz’ I get little popup messages. It seems to work quite well so far.Do I win a prize for actually finding a use for Twitter?

Nah, there’s lots of possible uses. Friend of mine set up an account to post the daily Fire Sale beer at the local Flying Saucer. Naturally, I subscribe to that one. I like that you can even have tweets sent to your phone as a text message. Now I always know what the cheap beer of the day is.
